Well, we did it. After much thought and discussion, we decided to pull Laren out of the charter school she was attending. Too many things were going on there both on the surface and in the background for us to accept to sum it up. SO....we resume homeschooling.
We have been at it for about a month now and are having a blast! We purchased a curriculum but are also incorporating in a lot of other things that schools either don't do anymore, or don't offer until higher grades in some cases.
We are learning the REAL history of our country, and all the regular 'subjects' as she would be doing in school but from a Godly perspective, not a world perspective. Some of the references we are utilizing are actually very old, from a time when things such as virtue and manners were still actually taught in schools. Public schools!
We are also doing Music, Art and many other fun things such as Home Economics, Creative Writing, Bible and we are getting ready to start up some "clubs" for weekends and friend time.
The only thing she really misses about going to school is seeing her peers. So, we are going to do our best to keep in touch with them by having get togethers, parties, clubs and outings.
Some of the clubs we have ideas for include a Photography Club, Book Club, Cooking/Baking Club, and Outdoor Education Club!
phew! We are staying very busy and are learing alot already. We have several field trips planned for the coming year and are very excited.
We decided to put up this blog to take you along on our Homeschool Adventure! We will post special projects, ideas and our progress on here so stay tuned! Be sure to "follow" us!
